Abstract
It is postulated that in a collaborative design environment, when agents interact with each other, they may learn from each other. In this paper, the phenomena of collective learning in team working are investigated using protocol analysis. Through such an investigation, a model of collective learning in design has been extended from an existing model of learning in design.
